Beware my power, PPT's light!!!

I knew there had to be a reason for the appearance of so many BP commercials: http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/69771938-b184-11e1-9800-00144feabdc0.html?ftcamp=published_links%2Frss%2Fhome_uk%2Ffeed%2F%2Fproduct#axzz1xIX5kuue

Spain IS Greece After All: Here Are The Main Outstanding Items Following The Spanish Bailout

Minimum amount needed: 100bn euros. No conditions on Spain's government. Syriza probably just won the election because of this. Funded provided by the ESB (which isn't signed by Germany yet) and the EFSF (which Spain was supposed to contribute 93bn...not).

Wall Street Week Ahead: Spain aid deal calms Europe fears

By Angela Moon

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks will get a lift on Monday after euro zone finance ministers agreed to lend Spain up to 100 billion euros ($125 billion) to help its battered banks.

The surprisingly large amount of aid removes a huge cloud that has been hanging over financial markets, with investors fearing that a banking crisis in euro zone's fourth-largest economy could have compounded the currency bloc's troubles with Greece.

Though the exact amount to be lent will be decided in just over a week, striking a deal now means Spain has added support in case Greece's June 17 elections throw financial markets into a tailspin.

"This is a major step in avoiding a contagion," said Tim Speiss, partner-in-charge of EisnerAmper's Personal Wealth Advisors Group in New York.

"The amount is pretty high, higher-than-expected. Although we need to get more details, at least for equity markets in the U.S. and around the world, this definitely eases short-term fears," Speiss said.

U.S. stocks are coming off their best week of 2012, in large part due to expectations that something would be done for Spain's banks.

Here They Come: Ireland Demands Renegotiation Of Its Bailout Terms To Match Spain

But back to Ireland. From AFP:

"Ireland raised two issues: one is the need to ensure parity of the deal with Spain retroactively on its bailout from EFSF," one European government source told AFP, referring to the temporary rescue fund, the European Financial Stability Facility.

Another European government source confirmed the information.

Ireland secured an 85-billion-euro ($112 billion) rescue deal from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund in November 2010, but only after agreeing to draconian austerity measures.

Unlike Ireland, Spain's economy minister said a deal on financing for the country's troubled banks would not impose any conditions on the wider economy.

Dublin plans to raise the issue during the next meeting of eurozone finance ministers to be held June 21, the sources said.

Eurozone finance ministers said Saturday they were willing to give Spain up to 100 billion euros to help its troubled banks, which are suffering due to their massive exposure to the ailing property sector.

Europe works on new euro zone bond plan: report

BERLIN (Reuters) - German news magazine Der Spiegel reported on Saturday that leaders of European institutions are working on a comprehensive plan to rescue the euro that would include the issuance of joint euro bonds - a move Germany has repeatedly rejected.

The news magazine said European Union Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, European Council President Herman Van Rompuy, Euro group head Jean-Claude Juncker and European Central Bank President Mario Draghi are working on plans for a "genuine fiscal union" in which individual member states would no longer be able to independently take on new borrowing.

Governments would only be able to decide how to spend money that is covered through their revenues, Der Spiegel reported. Any country that needs more money than it takes in would have to report that need to the group of euro finance ministers.

The magazine quoted four high-ranking EU planners saying this group of finance ministers would then decide which financial desires at which levels were justified and would then issue joint euro bonds to finance these new borrowing needs.

Germany mentioned once in the article. They reject the idea. That pretty much means it's BS and won't happen.

Well. the bailouts worked so well for Greece...why not give some moolah to Spain. I'm sure this is going to work out great.
